When a huge Airbus A380 was flying across the Atlantic, there happened to be a small fighter jet patrolling nearby.
The fighter pilot slowed down, flew side by side with the Airbus, and then greeted the old Airbus captain with the communication radio:
"Hi, Captain Airbus, is long-distance flying boring?
Take care!
Show you a rare flight show!”
After speaking, the little fighter began to roll, accelerate, break through the sonic barrier, climb rapidly, dazzling and then dive almost to sea level at a breathtaking speed.
After the dazzling performance, the fighter flew back to the airbus.
Asked: "How is it? Admire it?"
The old airbus captain replied: "Wow! Very impressive! But now let's watch my performance!"
So the fighter stared at Airbus to see what he was performing, but nothing happened. It continued to fly straight and tenaciously at the same speed.
Five minutes later, the old Airbus captain said to the fighter:
"How about the performance? Admire it?"
The fighter pilot asked in confusion, "Ah? I didn't see any performances?"
The old Airbus captain smiled and said:
"That's a pity, I just stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the plane to go to the bathroom, then drank a cup of coffee and ate a cinnamon cake, can you?"
The moral of this story is:
When we were young, we pursued performance and speed but with the increase of age and wisdom, comfort and calmness cannot be underestimated.
A Teacher gave a toffee to each of the children of the class and then said a strange thing “Listen children; please do not eat this toffee for the next ten minutes & he walked out of the classroom
There was pin drop silence in the classroom for a few moments, every child was looking at the toffee in front of them and it was difficult to stop themselves with each passing moment.
After the Ten minutes are over the teacher enters the class & reviews on who is doing what ..
There were seven children in the whole class, whose toffees were as it is while all other children were eating toffee & commenting on its color & taste.
The teacher recorded the names of these seven children in his diary.
“In 1979, I was managing a Wendy's in Port Richey, Florida.
Unlike today, staffing was never a real problem, but I was searching for a someone to work three hours a day only at lunch.
I went thru all my applications and most were all looking for full time or at least 20 hours per week. I found one however, buried at the bottom of a four-inch stack that was only looking for lunch part-time. His name was Nicky.
Hadn't met him but thought I would give him a call and see if he could stop by for an interview. When I called, he wasn't in but his mom said she would make sure he would be there.
At the accorded time, Nicky walked in. One of those moments when my heart went in my throat.
A few years ago there was a conference in the United States on investment and finance. During the question and answer session, one of the speakers was asked a question that had everyone laughing.
If he, the richest man in the world, could accept that his daughter marry a poor or modest man?
He said & his answer can change something in everyone-
“First of all,understand that Wealth does not mean having a fat bank account. Wealth is primarily the ability to create wealth.
Example: Someone who wins the lottery or in gambling.
Even if he wins 100 millions is not a rich man.
He is a poor man with a lot of money. That's the reason why 90% of the lottery millionaires become poor again after 5 years.
